CANNES, France When American director Trey Edward Shults decided to direct his first feature film, he turned to those he could most rely on to get it made: his family.

"Krisha", shown at the Cannes festival, is based on events that happened to Shults's family over the years and stars numerous family members, including his mother, Robyn Fairchild, and his aunt, Krisha Fairchild in the eponymous title role.
